Advice on personal matters

We understand that a company owner’s life is not limited solely to business matters. In addition to corporate relations, there are a number of areas requiring legal advice, assistance with documentation and legal representation to protect the rights and legitimate interests of private clients.

The lawyers at Dictum Law Firm act as legal advisers on matters relating to family and matrimonial relations, inheritance, property, motor vehicles and valuable assets, creative works and copyright protection, criminal law, and dealings with public authorities.

We represent the interests of Ukrainian citizens and foreign nationals in transactions involving Ukrainian and foreign residents, national and international companies, and the authorities of Ukraine and other countries.
